We're now completely certain that
Mad Max: Fury Road is going to be an absolutely terrifying trip to a post-apocalyptic future. In the latest two-and-a-half minute trailer, characters played by Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron team up to escape a deranged warlord in an adrenaline-fuelled thrill ride, which kicks off with Tom's voice: "In this wasteland, I am the one who runs from both the living and the dead. A man reduced to a single entity: Survive."

Charlize Theron buzzed her head for the role

Charlize stars as Imperator Furiosa, who has left the lair of warlord Immortan Joe with a handful of his young sex slaves. Tom, who plays,
Mad Max - gets dragged into the effort after he makes his own escape from Joe's gang of thugs.

The stunning and often violent trailer doesn't appear to be using much computer-generated effects, and this only lends itself to the feeling of shock and awe that the trailer elicits.

Also featuring Nicholas Hoult,
Riley Keough and Rosie Huntingdon-Whitely, the film is directed by George Miller, the mastermind behind the original 1979 film.

Charlize caused a buzz that year when she stepped out in Beverley Hills sporting the drastic new hair style for the film – a shaved head.

Leslie Fremar, the celebrity snipper who looks after Charlize’s locks, voiced her opinion on the actress’ new look at the time, telling
InStyle magazine: "She sent me a picture, and I said, 'Where the heck is all your hair?!'

Mad Max: Fury Road will screen out of competition at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival before being released in Canada on May 15.
